Light is not a wave because it does not need a medium

It's a tough question as to whether light is a wave or a particle..

The statement is FALSE. Not all types of waves need a medium to propagate. Light can travel without a medium. 

Extra Information:
Light is a longitudinal wave, sound is transverse.
Longitudinal waves do not need a medium.
Transverse waves need a medium.
This is why, for example, in the vacuum of space, light travels from stars, but sound does not.

A boy flies a kite with the string at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal. The tension in the string is 4.5N .
sp2606 [1]
How much work in J does the string do on the boy if the boy stands still? 

<span>answer: None. The equation for work is W = force x distance. Since the boy isn't moving, the distance is zero. Anything times zero is zero </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>
<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m away from the kite? </span>

<span>answer: might be a trick question since his direction away from the kite and his velocity weren't noted. Perhaps he just set the string down and walked away 11m from the kite. If he did this, it is the same as the first one...no work was done by the sting on the boy. </span>

<span>If he did walk backwards with no velocity indicated, and held the string and it stayed at 30 deg the answer would be: </span>
<span>4.5N + (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force1 </span>
<span>work = total force1 x 11 meters </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>

<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m toward the kite? </span>

<span>answer: same as above only reversed: </span>
<span>4.5N - (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force2 </span>
<span>work = total force2 x 11 meters</span>

A light ray incident on a block of glass makes an incident angle of 50.0° with the normal to the surface. The refracted ray in t
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the glass is 1.3

Explanation:

Given data:

i = incident angle = 50°

r = refracted angle = 36.1°

The index of refraction according Snell´s law is:

n=\frac{1*sini}{sinr} =\frac{1*sin50}{sin36.1} =1.3
